Statewide - hawaii local technical assistance program (LTAP), CY2026

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation a Cooperative Agreement totaling $185,000 on November 25, 2025, under the Highway Training & Education Local Technical Assistance 504(b) program (CFDA 20.294). The award supports Hawaii's Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) for calendar year 2026, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027. The Hawaii LTAP Center delivers training, professional development, and technology transfer services to local and rural road agencies throughout the Hawaiian islands, enabling transportation professionals to enhance their technical capabilities in highway construction, maintenance, and infrastructure management.

As a state Department of Transportation-managed LTAP Center, Hawaii receives this funding through a direct cooperative agreement rather than a competitive process. The program operates statewide across multiple islands (Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai) with administrative oversight from the department's Honolulu headquarters. The LTAP initiative is part of the FHWA's national network of 51 LTAP Centers and seven regional Tribal Technical Assistance Centers that collectively support workforce development and knowledge transfer across the United States and Puerto Rico.
